We sit down in this episode of the LTSF podcast with Justin McCallon, CEO and founder of StrongSuit , to get concrete about what modern litigation AI looks like when it’s built around real attorney workflows. Justin shares how his experience in legal transformation and early gen AI product work shaped StrongSuit’s approach: help litigators from intake through trial with research, drafting, doc review, timelines and statements of facts, deposition prep, and even oral argument practice. From that overview, Justin highlights just one of StrongSuit's standout features: an AI appellate judge that can interrupt, question your positions, and adapt in real time based on the case materials you upload. Your podcast host, Charlie Uniman, and Justin also dig into the engineering choices behind reliable legal AI: why StrongSuit emphasizes visual, multi-step workflows over an open-ended chat box, how “lawyer in the loop” review fits into quality control, and how a curated 11 million case law database plus retrieval augmented generation supports stronger results.
